What is the correct size chart for shopping for larger sizes? And what should be considered when choosing a size?

Unfortunately, one of the problems that confuses many is the size chart, which ranges from 2XL to 12XL and is often referred to as "plus sizes." While it's true that the size increases with the initial number, how are these initial numbers determined? This is a widely misunderstood topic, unfortunately leading to many disappointments. As in our other articles, we will explain the size chart in simple language and do our best to help you find your perfect fit and make your online shopping experience more comfortable.

What is a large size? When choosing a large size, what numbers do these sizes refer to?

The term "plus sizes" refers to sizes larger than XL. As you know, size charts categorize sizes according to dimensions, enabling us to wear clothes that fit perfectly. These charts are also based on the continents of the world. All textile companies are obligated to provide size charts to their customers according to the continent in which they operate. However, some companies do not adhere to these charts and change their size charts or sizing according to production conditions and events. In this article, we will explain the standard size chart in Europe and the Middle East, which is determined according to production. The size chart starts at 2XL, which is equivalent to size 44. As sizes increase, the number increases by 2, for example, 3XL is equivalent to 46, 4XL to 48, and so on. These incremental increases of 2 represent an increase of between 5 and 7 cm in size. Contrary to popular belief, size 2XL starts at size 44, not size 50. This is because when starting with the smallest adult size, XS, the corresponding size on the chart is 34 (size zero). By increasing the size by two, 2XL becomes size 44.

How can I find out my body size for overweight people?

We've already discussed the symbols corresponding to standardized international size charts. Now, how do we determine our size? The easiest way is to use a measuring tape and refer to our next blog post, "Size Guide for Trying on Clothes Before You Buy." It's that simple. Remember, when taking your measurements, there's a difference of up to 5 cm between the symbols, and if you're unsure, choose the appropriate size based on the fabric type. For example, if you're buying satin, it's best to buy a size up if you're unsure. This is because satin doesn't stretch well, and a size between two sizes is likely to be too tight and uncomfortable.
